Things you never thought you'd say. →[More:]

When I was a wee speckling, I never would have dreamed that someday I would say: "The principal of the firm wants to talk to you about the Crosswater development criteria; there's going to be land management issues."

Using the term "TPS Report" in any sense other than in a joke.

I died a little inside when someone asked me for one at my last job.

"Yes, Minister."

I am a civil servant.

backseatpilot, what exactly is a TPS report, anyway?

posted by Specklet 28 March | 13:18

To my son, to whom it also applies: "There are worse things than you hating my guts."

To his mother: "...such as what you're doing to him."

Oops, I meant: "To my son, and to his mother, to whom it also applies....dammit.

"We need to be proactive about this." Or, in other words, "Yes, please shove that red-hot poker straight up my ass."

Well, at my old job (GE Aircraft Engines), a TPS was a work request. Any time you wanted something done by someone in the union, you filled out a TPS.

"Damn, what a large chicken."

Seriously that thing was as tall as my thighs, although the photo doesn't make it look that way, and I'm not that short.

Can we make love tomorrow night instead of tonight? Or the next night? I'm REALLY tired.

Can you meet me in room 213B? There's an order to digitally disimpact Mrs. Smith and hang soap suds enemas until clear.

posted by LoriFLA 28 March | 16:42

Does digitally disimpact mean what I think it means?

posted by Specklet 28 March | 17:15

Yes, unfortunately it does. It's a joy.

posted by LoriFLA 28 March | 17:18

Will you tidy your damned bedroom up, because I'm sick and tired of tripping over your stuff all the time! If this mess is still here when I get home from work tomorrow, I'll throw it all in the bin!

My Mother laughs out loud every time she hears me say this.

Hee. Thankfully digital disimpaction is an infrequent order, at least on the floor I work on.

Whom does it impact and who stands to profit from this reorganization? How does this transaction impact upon my employment with this company?
